On 12 September 2026, armed violence erupted in the Artibonite department of Haiti, targeting the communities of Robert, Janbon, and Gilbert in Saint‑Marc and Koray, Dekouvet, and Okabret in Verrettes. Roughly 904 individuals, comprising 227 households, were forced to flee. All displaced persons found temporary shelter with host families—60 % in Saint‑Marc and 40 % in Verrettes—while no formal displacement sites were established. Humanitarian actors have outlined planned interventions to support these host families and the displaced population, as detailed in the latest ReliefWeb report (ETT 108).
